The failure to address child neglect prevention efforts from a system viewpoint is presented as a major impediment to the generation of truly preventive interventions. Child neglect prevention is discussed at three levels: at the level of the individual, at the level of social systems and at the level of fundamental beliefs and cultural agreements. A process of component selection and placement...

The behaviors of children with autism have been described by professionals, by family members, and also by those with autism. This article analyzes four different types of reports that contain descriptions of those with autism: (1) case studies, (2) diagnostic reports and single-subject research studies, (3) family accounts, and (4) autobiographical descriptions. Authors describe the behaviors ...

purpose: to compare mersilene mesh and autogenous fascia lata in the management of low-function ptosis. methods: a randomized clinical trial was performed on 31 eyelids with poor levator function. patients were randomly assigned to two groups: 16 eyelids in the mersilene mesh group and 15 eyelids in the autogenous fascia lata group. results: nine patients with congenital unilateral and 11 patie...

Protecting children from injury and abuse requires mechanisms at both the familial and societal levels. Data from wealthy and stable societies suggest that situations of stress predispose children to abusive injury. While the direct effects of armed conflict are all too apparent, even low-intensity conflict has the potential to exacerbate stress in the family. Clinicians who treat children in s...

three mesh sizes of multiflament trammel nets (22 mm, 24 mm, and 26 mm) were used in finike bay for red mullet (mullus barbatus l., 1758). the sampling program was arranged during february to may 2012. holt (1963) method was used for selectivity of trammel nets. red mullet was the dominant species in 22 mm mesh size at 52.86%, followed by 25.7% with the 24 mm net and 21.43% with the 26 mm net. ...

Despite recent advances in geometric modelling, 3D mesh modelling still involves a considerable amount of manual labour by experts. In this paper, we introduce Mesh Draping: neural method for transferring existing structure from one shape to another. The drapes the source over target geometry and at same time seeks preserve carefully designed characteristics mesh. At its core, our deforms using...
